Description
Used Continuous-Flow Olive Oil Extraction Line Technical Specifications and Performance Data This complete olive oil processing line is designed to operate continuously and ensure reliable seasonal productivity. Based on continuous-flow technology, it integrates crushing, malaxation, separation, and filtration with pneumatic management to deliver stable, high-quality olive oil, ready for industrial packaging and downstream bottling. Production capacity: approximately 20 ql/h (expandable by upgrading the pumps) Line configuration: 2 continuous-flow lines Main equipment: Variable-speed crusher with gear pumps, malaxers (5 ql and 7 ql units), centrifuges, stone mill, tray filters, gear pumps, water pumps, selector with conveyor belts and hoppers Centrifuges: 2 units, 7–8 ql/h each Malaxers: 5 units, 5 ql; 4 units of 7 ql Filters: 2 units with 4 trays Stone mill: 1 unit, 7 ql Control medium: Compressed air for actuation and control Discharge control: Electronic management on the crusher/pump unit Manufacturer: Vitone engineering Advanced automation and control systems The line uses pneumatic actuation for reliable, low-maintenance operation and features electronic discharge management on the crusher/gear pump unit for precise process control. Variable crusher speed allows for optimized paste preparation across different olive varieties and harvest conditions. Modular sections facilitate line balancing and small adjustments during peak harvest periods. Electronic discharge management for constant flow. Variable speed crushing for paste optimization. Pneumatic controls for actuators and key mechanisms. Modular sections to align with upstream reception and downstream filtration. Production line integration capabilities. Designed for seamless integration within an olive oil extraction plant, the line connects upstream olive handling with malaxation, separation, and finishing. Downstream, it effectively interfaces with used bottling equipment and industrial packaging solutions for edible oil, enabling a smooth transition from extraction to bottling, capping, and labeling where required. In-line operation for crushing, malaxation, centrifugation, and filtration. Easy integration with downstream oil bottling and labeling systems. Scalable capacity by upgrading pump sections. Selector with conveyor belts and hoppers ensures consistent and uniform feeding. Machine condition and maintenance history. The plant is maintained in good working order with scheduled annual maintenance. It operates every harvest season, ensuring components remain in use and ready for service. Consistent maintenance reflects a practical pre-owned asset that remains fully functional and reliable for continuous production. Operational Status: In production during harvest seasons Maintenance: Routine annual service performed Condition: Ready to support continuous extraction Operational Performance and Versatility This line offers a robust platform for olive oil extraction, with process flexibility driven by variable-speed crushing and a diverse set of malaxers. Two centrifuges stabilize the flow rate at approximately 20 ql/h, while tray filters support clarity and finishing before storage or packaging. The configuration is suitable for producers looking to increase capacity or integrate a second used bottling line to complete the value chain. Stable flow rate with two centrifuges. Various malaxer models to calibrate residence time. Plate filters help achieve desired clarity. Adaptable to varying harvest volumes. Installation and site preparation requirements. The system requires a well-planned layout to align upstream olive handling with malaxation, separation, and finishing stations. Compressed air is required for pneumatic controls. A water supply and dedicated pumps support the centrifuge pressure circuits. Conveyors and hoppers supplied with the sorter facilitate continuous, ergonomic operation. Utilities: Compressed air for drives. Water supply: Required for centrifuge pressure systems. Material handling: Sorter with conveyors and hoppers included. Modular installation to fit plant footprint. Safety standards and compliance certification. The line integrates practical operator safeguards typical of industrial process equipment, with pneumatic actuation facilitating controlled movements and electronic discharge management supporting stable flow management. Protective devices, emergency stop buttons, and hygienic operating practices are recommended to align with food processing requirements and site policies. Operator-friendly pneumatic controls. Electronic exhaust regulation improves process stability. Supports the integration of protective devices and emergency stop circuits. Suitable for food processing environments
